CIRCULATORY

SYSTEM
3 main parts
• Muscular pump
– heart
• Fluid
– blood
• Series of conduits
– Blood vessels
• Arteries, veins, capillaries
TYPES OF CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM OF ANIMALS:

• OPEN CIRCULATORY SYSTEM


• CLOSED CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Open circulatory system
• blood leaves the vessels and exits the body
• Found in insects,
Arthropods,
mollusks
Closed circulatory system
• Instead of the blood leave the
blood vessels it remains within
the blood vessels
• Found on squids, octopus,
earthworms and vertebrates
CIRCUITS
• Systemic circuits
-When blood vessels carry the blood to and
from systemic tissues
• Are all tissues in the organ other than the breathing
organs, they take up oxygen from the blood and add
carbon dioxide to the blood (gas exchange)
CIRCUITS
• Breathing –organ circuit
– Blood vessels carry blood to and from breathing
organs
FISH
• Systemic circuit and gill circuit (breathing-
organ circuit) connected in series
• 2 chambered heart
• A series arrangements is the most efficient for
delivering oxygen
MAMMALS AND BIRDS
• Systemic circuit and lung circuit connected in series
• A series arrangement is the most efficient for delivering
oxygen
• Heart pumps blood twice
• 4 chambered heart
• Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs enter the left atrium and
then passes into the left ventricle
• The right atrium receives oxygen-depleted blood, then flows
into the right ventricle
• One-way valves ensure that blood flows through the chambers
in the correct direction
REPTILES
• Circulatory system does not always guarantee series
flow
• One ventricle, which pumps blood to both lungs and
the systemic circuit
• But oxygen-rich and oxygen-depleted blood are often
kept separate as they flow through the ventricle
• An incomplete divided ventricle can have advantages
• When turtles dive underwater for long periods, they
stop circulating blood to the lungs
